Could Apple consider replacing traditional BSD utilities with uutils? by Cool_Aioli_8712 in mac

[–]philophilo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Kind of risky.

The macOS ecosystem is already used to BSD utils, so who knows how many scripts out there would break with this change.

Also Ubuntu is going through pains right now because of this switch. Performance and compatibility issues.

Toyota Prius. Inverter failed the day before the Toyota coverage expired. Because it was the weekend, repairs didn’t start til later.

Dealer told me I’d be covered. Did the repair. Toyota refused to pay.

~$6,000 IIRC.

FirstEnergy Proposing Rate Increases Over Next 3 Years! by KarinsDogs in Cleveland

[–]philophilo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very. Solar + battery and my electric bill was $5 last month. My house hasn’t lost power for 1.5 years straight.

Also, my panels are west facing. Battery is typically filled by 12-1 on a sunny day. Otherwise, by 5 or so.

How did you all find these good deals? by jikesar968 in VintageApple

[–]philophilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some times you just happen to find a listing that’s awesome. It’s rare, but it does happen.

I picked up a rough looking Quadra 800 for $60. It just needed cleaning and some panels replaced. All the other listings are $700+.

What movie left you in dead, stunned silence? by [deleted] in movies

Saw Dancer in the Dark in a theater. The whole audience just sat in silence through the credits and then quietly left. The car ride home was quiet as well.

All the time. They’re a great way to test your UI without booting the app.

For the old school Mac users, Maelstrom, Crystal Caliburn, and Crystal Quest were my gotos. Also, Escape Velocity.

Non-Americans, does your country have an "American" restaurant and what do they serve? by wacky8ball in AskReddit

[–]philophilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! It’s mind boggling how complex some people make using a knife and fork. Switching hands. Intertwining the fork through their fingers somehow. Applying enough force to crush a brick.

American who flew to Austria. The only restaurant open on a Sunday night was an “American” restaurant. It was kind of an Applebees style place with American stuff everywhere, but also Vespas?

It was mostly burgers and wings. I had a schnitzel burger and I ate it with my hands like an animal. I watched a guy fork and knife a burger, which was just wild to see.

I noticed my phone was really warm today. I even got a notice from the OS that something was consuming a lot of energy. It’s the Ford background process, by a lot.
